Putin proposes 'humanitarian mission' in Kostiantynivka; Zelensky warns of seizure pretext

Putin proposed a temporary 'humanitarian mission' in Kostiantynivka, which Zelensky interprets as a pretext for Russian forces to enter and occupy the city, potentially enabling a push toward Kramatorsk. The proposal is unverified and likely a tactical ruse, but if realized, it would mark a significant Russian advance in Donetsk Oblast. This matters as it could alter the frontline dynamics and undermine Ukrainian defensive positions.
